Serendipity ... two years ago I followed a wonderful Sardinian opera singer on Instagram ... @boghe_e_riu his posts reflected a strong history and love of his homeland and a passion for what he does. Sergio’s talent takes him around the world. His home is Paris and tonight I had the pleasure of hosting he and his fabulous partner at my home in Paris. #purejoy#meantobe#reachout 📸 @uncle_jimmy_67#thepowerofsocialmedia

"Imagine if we lived with a presence of peace regardless of the outcome" ❤ Working on this! 👆👆 Over the last 6 months I returned to reading. It has brought joy that I didn't know I was missing. I used to love reading. Not that I really had a choice - I grew up in a house with no electricity. 😂But then life happened and I forgot the joy of reading. The Universe has Your Back is all about being open to what the universe has to offer. 🌞 Belief is a higher power is easy for some. For me, it something I have to work at. The universe brought me this book at the right time. There are a lot things I need to 'figure out'. Today the universe brought me a rainy day 🌧 to sit & read.❤ Now to let YouTube entertain my child while I get closer to the univers.🤷‍♀️ . . . . . . #reading#books#joy#imagine#universe#leanintojoy#thoughts#arepowerful#personaldevelopment#rain#love#peace#meantobe#gowiththeglow#open#signs#workingonme#remember#momlife#realtalk#follow

Here is the fourth card that I made with the Meant to be Stamps and Be Mine Stitched Framelits. I stamped the sentiment from the Better Together Stamp set. I used the Flirty Flamingo and Merry Merlot for the hearts all around the sentiment. Probably hard to see but I used some of the tiny hearts that where cut out of the framelit that is in the picture. I also used Wink of Stella and some pearl embellishments to add some pretties to the project. Super easy one layer card so fun!! 🥰 #stampinup#stampitupwithdawn#handmadecards#onelayercards#meantobe#bemineframelits#merrymerlot#flirtyflamingo

Got a show on the beach! Huge thanks to @veniceball for spotlighting me at their new club house! I’ll be showing for the entire month 10am-7pm and we will be having a reception at the end of the month. If youre in la come check me out! I’m super grateful for this opportunity and all of the beautiful things that have been coming to me. January 21st will be the 3 year anniversary of my first work of art and it’s hard to comprehend how many years it felt like I squeezed into that short period of time I still don’t really understand it I’m always just grateful for every second of this ride

The 3rd card I made is a smaller 4x4 again, I enjoy making this size card sometimes filling a square is easier than a rectangle. This one was pretty easy a bunch of hearts cut out with the same Framelit set and stamped with the heart image and sentiment from the same Meant To Be stamp set. A few rhinestones and Adhered to a 4"x 8" Piece of Whisper White Cardstock scored in the middle for the base to finish it off. I hope you all love this card as much as I do! 💖 #stampinup#stampitupwithdawn#handmadecards#meantobe#bemineframelits#valentinesday

Here is the 2nd of the four cards that I made with the Meant To Be Bundle. This one I also used the Stitched Label Framelits for the Silver layer under the Sentiment. The Sentiment is from the Better Together Stamp set which I embossed on the Lovely Lipstick oval. The oval is cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The Scalloped Crumb Cake oval underneath was cut from the Layering Oval Framelits. All from StampinUp! #stampinup#handmadecards#stampitupwithdawn#Meantobe#bettertogether#layeringovalsframelits

Life is good! We have been looking for buying myself a surf since we got in Bali...looking around trying to find something that gonna be a progression between my longboard and a short board. After our surf session that day we stoped by a local warung to get a Balinese meal and that’s when we met Komang! He showed up and we started to talk a little bit with him. We got to the point that we were looking for a surf for me. He was super humble and started to ask questions about it. Five minute later we were following him on our motorbike to his surf factory !! Nice people, super vibes @kmssurfboards welcome us and shaped my board last night 👌🏻✨🙊💛I am so stoked. They also gave me the opportunity to do my own design and we have really gotten to know the KMS crew at the same time. What they shaped me is the result of a love story between a fun board who had french kiss with a short board ✨hahahaha. A nice 6’7” with a great rocker in the tail, well shaped with just enough foam to help me catch the waves. I can’t wait to try it. Life is good and I feel lucky. #customsurfboards#surfindo#meantobe

Who Dat?! . . Oh my gahhh! Mark found this gem on his phone and it’s hard to believe that was me!! Look, we gain weight during pregnancy, it’s natural and healthy, obviously. It’s not however an excuse to be unhealthy. A woman’s body is incredible, I mean we make humans!!! Contrary to what some may think, the baby weight doesn’t just disappear when we deliver! It’s up to you. . . If you follow me you may know what I’ve been up to or at least know I’m up to something. Let me explain, I stumbled across this girl from a repost by Calia on Instagram, she had the cutest thigh high socks so naturally I clicked her page to check it out (I really wanted the socks!). As I was scrolling I became so intrigued with her page and her story and I was inspired by her postpartum journey! It gave me hope! I knew I wanted to be a part of what she was doing. If she could do it, why not me!? Today, I’m the healthiest I have been in my life, at 30! s/p ✌🏻pregnancies with one being multiples! 👶👶👶 I’ve never been an athlete, never been in sports and to be honest, I’m really not that coordinated! . . If i could do for other people what my, now coach, has done for me, why wouldn’t I? . . In case you’re still confused. I’ve partnered with Beachbody as a coach to help support and mentor people like me, to live their happiest and healthiest life! I would love nothing more than to do just that and pay it forward! . . . #payitforward#changinglibes#transformations#livinghealthy#dirtythirty#thisisthirty#threethreeandunder#boymom#opportunityknocks#postpartumjourney#momofmultiples#youcantoo#changinglivesdaily#getoffthecouch#fullpotential#itwasfate#meantobe
